THE TREATIES OF 1815. Reference .was made last week to the famous Treaties of 1815, and tho expressed diBtaste of the French Emperor to their provisions, in his brief but significant speech at Auxerrc. That our read? ers may be informed us to the terms imposed by these treaties, and the foundation of Napoleon's declared detestation, we give place to the following explanation of the Treaties as given by the Pall Mall Gazelle of the 14th ultimo. The reader will bear in mind, however, that this article emanates from a English standpoint : M As the treaty of Vienna may once more be made the stalking horse of Bonapartiat ambition, it may. be interesting to the general reader who is more learned in present politics than in past histo? ry to be reminded what that famous treaty reallj was. In the first place, it was signed by a larger number of States than had ever before united in a settlement of European affairs," including Austria, France, England, Russia, Prussia, Spain, Portugal and Sweden. Coming also immediately after tho whispered shattering of tho old-landmarks conse? quent upon French conquests, the arrangement of territories amounted almost to a reconstruction. This reconstruction was based almost exclusively cn dynastic considerations, the real welfare of na? tions and the tendencies of what are now caUed " nationalities" being scarcely thought of. Every? where wero nations, or fragments of nations, placed under foreign sovereignties. " England's gain, indeed, was fully equalled by ho: loss in tho new plan. She kept Malta, which was essential to her position in the Mediter? ranean, and where her rule was not unwelcome ; for the sake of Europe generally, she undertook . the protectorate of the Ionian Islands, now got rid of; and to satisfy royal prejudices she also pre? served tho kingdom of Hanover, now also got rid . ^>r. . "In Italy Milan and Venice were given to Austria, and Sardinia was confirmed to Piedmont; while the duchies of Tuscany, Parma, Modcna and Pla centin were rocognized as sham independent sover? eignties, governed by collateral branches of the Austrian Hapsburg. Austria still further obtain? ed possession of tho Tyrol, Illyria and Dalmatia. "Prussia's gains wero' enormous, and unlike many, of the Austrian, were acquisitions of real powor. With half of Saxony, nearly "all of West? phalia, Swedish Pomorania, and almost all lower Rhino provinces, she started afresh as a rival of Austria far more formidable than before. " In the South of Europe, Russia received Fin Inrid.from Sweden; as a compensation for which Sweden received Norway, which was taken from Denmark ; and Denmark, who was not represented ai the Congress, nothing in return. " As to Poland, the three great partitioners made some fresh rectification of boundaries. " The innumerable small German States which had existed before the French revolution, and ' which had been what diplomatists called mediatiz? ed, cr, plain people call it, swamped, at the sitting up of the Bonapartist Confederation of tho Rhine ?there all remained swallowed up by their power fat-neighbors. J};. " Holland, having ceded her German posscjsions was consoled with the Belgio provinces, and be? came a kingdom; and Switzerland remains much as before. " lh the same year, 1815, political pharisaism accomplished its masterpiece, the "Holy AlUance" between Austria, Russia and Prussia, by which they bound themselves to act for the future on Christian principles only, and immediately proceed to enforce the absolute supremacy of kings as the . -one .gveat principle of Christianity. All Europe acquiesced in the rnnounccment, with three nota? ble exeeptions?tho Sultan, whose opinion was not asked, and England and the Pope, who both de? clined to have anything to do with the imposture. STATE NEWS. The Darlington Southerner hears doubtful ac? counts of the crop prospect. .Much of the cotton is dying, and the frcedmcn are indolent, perverse and disobedient, with few exceptions. The Cheraw Advertiser states that during the week preceding there was almost a. deluge of rain, - with consequent bad effects upon tho crops. Tho Yorkville Enquirer has an account of a des trictive storm of wind and hail, on Saturday pre? vious, passing through the central portion of that District, and resulting in great damage to the wheat crops. And on Tuesday another torrific tcrnado passed from the samo direction, uprooting trees and unroofing houses, - The streets and side? walks of Yorkville were literally covered by the debris of the storm. "The crops must have euf - fiu-ed additional heavy injury." The Sumter News learns that Mr. W. C. Duncan has been appointed Postmaster at that place. The Pickens Courier is of opinion that the yield of wheat in that District will be good, although there is somo rust. The "oldest inhabitant" of Pickens has not before winessed the fall of so much and such heavy rains as have recently visited many portions of the District. The soil, in some sections, has been badly washed. The Courier re? grets to learn that a private of the 15th Maine Volunteers, on garrison duty at Walhalla, was "ambushed and fired into" one night recently, tho ball passing through Ids uniform. The editor properly adds that "such conduet, if persisted in by (he turbulent in our midst, cannot fail to pro? duce the most disastrous consequences." s The Marion Star says that Lewis J. HarraR, the \nurderer of Dr. James Jarrott, one of the most prominent physicians in that section of the State, expiated his crime upon the gallows on Friday tho 1st ustont. Reports from different parts of she Distric\ represent crops generally as looking rather sKkly, particularly ootton. Tho store house and\p0(is of H. G. Fladger were entirely consumed b^firo on Saturday night hist. Par? tially covered Dx insurance. The EdgefieldN^tf-fwer deeply regrets to an? nounce that Dr. Job? q. WiUiams, a most respecto! ble citizen, came to hlMeath on Monday afternoon, at his residence?"the\At 0f his own hand."? Rev. Henry C. Horlong,\eii known and highly respected, departed this lifc\t residenco near Mount WiUing recently. TheN^^.^^ chronicles the release of Maj. Wilson Cole\? who has been held under arrest for three monthdw the military authorities. Other citizens of Edgfeuid have re? turned, but ?iere are four yet in prison.^ Charles toa. \ GLEANINGS FEOM OUR EXCHANGES. ? The floods in Texas havo overflowed and de? vastated all tho bottom lands, and the injury to crops has been extensive. ? The Congressional Commitlee.appointed to in? vestigate the Memphis riots, 1 a -e nearly completed their labors. As they were sent there to do the work of partisans, the public can anticipate their report. ? The Government authorities are taking steps (to prosecute such parties as have failed to make the use ofrevenue stamps required by law. ? Mr. White, late of Mosby's guerrillas, has bcnn elected Mayor of Leesburg, Va. He was pardoned several months ago. ? About three hundred colored couples were married last v.-eck at the freedmcn's village on Ar? lington Hights, in pursuance of Gen. Howard's re? cent order relative to conoubinage. ? It is said that the British Minister has de? manded the surrender from our Government of the captured Fenians. The demand will be complied with. ,??? ? Leonard Huyck, late President of the Mer? chant's National Bank in Washington, has been arrested and held for trial for violating the Nation? al Currency Act. ? There are 1,G50 National Banks now in exis? tence. Applications are being made to convert other banking institutions into National Banks, but the Comptroller of the Currency is refusing them for want of power. ? The -oourt-martial which has been trying Ma? jor Gee, who was commandant of the rebel prison at Salisbury, has adjourned for a short period. Up to this timo tho expenses of the trial have been S150,000, and no evidence criminating the prison? er has been adduced yet. ? Colonel Starr, of tho 17th Kentucky Regi? ment, claims the honor for his men of planting the first Irish flag on the Canada shore. ?? One of the noticeable incidents at the decora? tion of the graves of Confederate soldiers at Holy wood Cemetery, Richmond, Va., on the 31st, was that many negroes brought flowers and laid them affectionately upon the graves of their former mas? ters who fell in battle. ? Dana, late of the Chicago Republican, is being examinod regarding the conduct, of the War De? partment during his administration as Assistant Secretary. As Tom Carlyle onco said of another affair, "This is the dirtiest chimney that has been burned out in half a century." ? TheMNational Itelligcncer says that when old Thad. Stevens found, the other day, that several Republican members were opposed to his manner of conducting hostilities against the Secretary of the Treasury, he turned " livid with rage, and ex? hibited, by his manner, the greatest violence." ? Our New York exchanges come to us filled with the particulars of the imposing ceremonies at? tending the burial of the lato Gen. Winficld Scott. It is a singular faot that among those who compos? ed the grand pageant there was no one who stood in a nearer relation to the deceased than " intimate friends " and " family servants." ? A new and terrible explosive compound call od sodium-amalgum, has recently been discovered. It is said that one ounce of it is eqnal in explosive power to twenty-five pounds of gun-powder, and a ton and a half pounds of nitro-glycerine. It is ex? ploded by moisture, and a spoonful of water com? ing in contact with two hundred ounces of it, will produce the effect of fire thousand pounds gun? powder. ? non. E. Barksdale, formerly member of tho Confederate Congress from Mississippi, in a noto to the editor of the Jackson Standard, refers to the recently published statements relative to the remo? val of the remains of his gallant brother, Gen. Wm. Barksdale, who fell at Gettysburg. He says " it is the intention of his nearest kindred to removo his body, at on early day, for consignment to its final resting place, at some appropriate spot within the limits of his own State, without taxing the generosity of others." ? A poor unemployed soldier in New York hung himself to his bed-post. There was no bu? reau for him. ? The editor of a North Carolina country pa? per advertises for $100,000 in greenbacks. . Hope he will get 'cm. ? The European Congress was to meet at Paris on May 26th. AU the great powers had agreed to it. ? Rev. C. C. Bittiug, of Alexandria, Va., has, we.learn, received and will accept a call from Greenville, S. C. ? The Cincinnati Gazette (do not forget the name of tho paper) informs its readers in a recent issue that " the calamities of the South furnish cause for unmixed joy and unbounded enthusi? asm." . ? A meeting was held at Kaoxville, on Thurs? day last, at which a committee of twenty-one was appointed to visit Cinoinnati with the committee from Charleston, to confer upon tho subject of the proposed Cincinnati, Knoxville and Charleston Railroad. -1-o.-. THE TEEM "FENIAN." Since the recent excitement created by the or? ganization known ns Fenians, we have been re? peatedly asked as to the origin of the term. The following explanation is authorized by Head Centre Stephens, who is supposed to be aufail in all mat? ters pertaining to his erratic and Quixotic Broth? erhood : "Every student of Irish history will recollect that a chieftain existed in Ireland just anterior to the Christian era, named Fion MoCuol. This per? sonage was tho commandant of the. Fenian Erin or Irish militia at a period when Ireland was a nation, and her people protected themselves against the encroachments of all invaders. As the present I organization is instituted for the same purpose, after the foreign robber shall have been expelled, the name of Fenian was adopted for the branch of tho brotherhoodin the United States." Washington, June 11.?In the Houso, to-day, personalities of the gressest character were in? dulged in by Grinnell end Rosseau. The latter denounced Grinnell in very severo terms. By order, Gen. A. L. Gurncy, now of Selma, sent a remonstrance, signed by Union officers and soldiers now planting in- that State, against the cotton tax. ' The General urges that cotton cannot be raised at a profit with the tax. This will drive out the 5,000 Northern emigrants now there, and prevent Northern emigration, without which the General thinks the Southern States cannot be purged of disloyalty -? ? The London Times in a leader says: We have expressed an opinion that the first breach of the peace of Europe is not likely to come from the side of Prussia. Tho menacing attitude of Aus? tria, the promptitude with which she has prepared for war, the enormous army eke is capable of bringing nito tho field, might well cause Prussia to pause before driving matters to extremity. Prussia has, moreover, shown unmistakable symp? toms that all is not well In her internal affaire The people, whom the Government has done every thiog in its power to disgust, appear at last to be reaHy and effectively disgusted. I &TOIE&3(0)ff, S. (Do Thursday Morning, June 14th, 1866. THE BEV1VAL In the Baptist Church at this place continued during last week, and the series of meetings closed on Sunday night last. The ordinance of baptism was administered on Sunday afternoon to sixteen persons?thirteen white and three colored. The scene was most impressive, and the vast crowd in attendance at Rocky River attested their interest in the sacred rite by a most respectful silence and solemnity. -o ANOTHER HOT SUPPER. We arc pleased to announce that the ladies of the Methodist congregation in this place propose giving'a Hot Supper at the Masonic Hall on this (Thursday) evening. Tho object had in view, to wit, re-fitting and repairing the interior of the Church, is most praiseworthy, and we heartily commend the occasion to lovers of the substantial and palatable. From an inside view of arrange? ments, we confess to an earnest desire to "be there to sec." The ladies in charge of the supper will undoubtedly provide bountifully, and there need be no hungry people in town to-night. Tickets of admission 25 cents, to be had at the principal stores and at the postof&ce. - ? DEBATING SOCIETY. A few evenings since, at a pleasant gathering of friends at the house of one of our hospitable citizens, the suggestion was made by a distinguished gentleman present that the young men of Ander? son should form an old-fashioned Debating Society. The idea was so forcible and pertinent that we have deemed it proper to ventilate the suggestion through theso columns. ' The gentleman referred to, one of the nost successful and prominent law? yers, attributes in a great measure his facility in public speaking-to one of these Societies, in which he was an active participant some thirty years ago. What say our young men and boys to the forma? tion of a Society which wiU vastly improve tho mind, promote thoifght and action, and perhaps bring to light talents of high order that may now be hidden from view ? We hope for an earnest response, and are authorized to state that many of our leading citizens will encourage the move and co-operate in this laudable undertaking. -~*-~~~~ POST OFFICES DISCONTINUED. The Postmaster at this place has received in? structions from the Department at Washington [to discontinue the delivery of mails for offices where there is no regularly appointed person to receive them. The refusal of Congress to modify the test oath has necessitated this action upon the part of the Postmaster General, and a corres? ponding necessity for our people to secure the ser? vices, if possible, of those who can subscribe to the aforesaid oath. If none such can be found, the recent mail arrangements throughout the Dis? trict will be permanently disarranged, and other arrangements to secure the delivery of packages must be determined upon. Rocky Ridge, Shal? low Ford, Townville and the Post Office at this place are the only offices now open, and it be? hooves our fellow citizens to make every laudable effort to secure the transmission of mails by the authorized carriers. -1?.?0 "THE SITUATION." European advices to tho 1st instant bring no definite information as regards the conference of all the powers involved in the impending im? broglio. The time of meeting is not agreed upon, and it is merely supposed that Louis Napoleon* will preside. Meanwhilo, the work of prepara? tion for war ia continued, and belligerent forces are being rapidly mobolized. The most ridiculous fiasco of the present centu? ry, "the Fenian War," has suddenly collapsed. The invasion of Canada terminated in a fight near the boundary line, in which the Fenians were routed and dispersed. Dispirited and demoral? ized, the deluded Irish gladly accepted transpor? tation, and have sought their homes. Congress has been doing Bttle or nothing du? ring the week past. Many are absent from their seats. There is some talk of adjournment. The trial of Jefferson Davis is postponed un? til October next. In all probability, bail will be granted for the distinguished prisoner, provided the question is settled that the Courts havo the power. Otherwise, he may be liberated on parole. -4?-;-??? THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, held in Charleston two weoks ago, the following gentlemen were ap? pointed a Committee to visit Cincinnati and other Western cities relative to the enterprise of connect ing Charleston and Cincinnati by railway: John T. Sloan, President, and Messrs. G. A. Tbenholm, Eenry Goubdin, Ebwabd Fbost, C. M. F?bman, R. M. Johnson, B. F. Pebby and J. P. Reed. In accordance with this nppointmcnt, our fellow townsman, Col. Reep, has taken his departure to join the other members of the Committee in their visit to the commercial metropolis of the great West. His eminent ability and active public spir? it, together with his accumulated information of years upon the subject of Railroads and the re? sources of the country which this Road will pene? trate, cannot fail to make him a leading member of the Committee, and will undoubtedly exorcise a material influence upon the capitalists of that sec? tion to induce them to contribute liberally towards the completion of an enterprise which will redound to their aggrandizement end prosperity. No bet? ter selection from this region could have been made, and we are rejoiced that the interests of onr people are confided to the care of one so thor? oughly acquainted with their wishes and aspira? tions. The resuscitation of this work will do more to revive the languishing spirits of our people than aught else which could be devised, whether polit? ical, commercial or social. The energies of all were vigorously directed to this enterprise in other days, and though indefinitely deferred, the citizens of this section have always maintained a steady belief that the Road would some day be completed. Now that the finances of our State, in common with all other things, lie prostrate and crippled, the ob? ject is well worth the effort to induce assistance from those who are yet able to lend a helping hand in the furtherance of a project designed to bring the utmost prosperity and pecuniary ad? vantage to both sections, no less than to knit with hooks of steel the intimate relations of the two Queen cities?South and West The friends of the Road will await with anxiety the report of the Committee, and in the meantime we hope to keep our readers advised as to the ef? forts on their important mission. -<3> jjgjf- Notwithstanding an occasional shower, the weather has been excessively warm during the past week. Thermometer ranging from 90 dcg. upwards. j THE LIBEETY POB WHICH THE SOUTH CON? TENDED. Tlie political philosopher in other countries must have been astounded at the declarations of the late belligerents during t)ic unhappy strife which ended in the discomfiture of the South and the physical triumph of the North. Both parties contended that they were respectively the custodians of po? litical liberty on this continent. The statesmen and journals of both sides were all along singing poeans of praise to the Goddess of Liberty. The people of each section were indoctrinated into the belief that they sustained vast armies and prose? cuted a mighty war that something bearing the j name of liberty might be perpetuated. It may not be amiss to examine, in a succinct manner, the re? lative doctrines for which so much precious and invaluable blood was shed, alas! in vain, for neither the one nor the other was established by the results of a conflict where overpowering num? bers forced the weaker side to yield in passive obedience to their pronunciamentos and proclama? tions. The opinions of the South are no more dominated now than they were when its armies were treading the soil of Pennsylvania, nor is this declaration at all inconsistent with the pledged faith and allegiance of the conquered masses. They have sworn to protect and defend the Constitution and the Union, and not the dogmas and fallacies of any man or set of men. Their duty is plain and straightforward, and there is neither turning to the right or left in pursuance of this obligation. The principles enunciated by the leaders of ihe Bepublican party anterior to the great struggle looked to the ultimate emancipation and conse? quent liberty of an unenlightened jaco then in bondage. However much the North may decry against this as tho prime motive for waging war, and however great may have been their demonstra? tions to prove that the Union was the paramount object had in view, the indelible stamp of history itself will forever affix.the falsity of this argument, as we shall undoubtedly prove by the facts. The very first objection to the stipulations agreed upon at the surrender in North Carolina was that the status of slavery remained unchanged. The howl against the Sherman-Johxston treaty, proceeded upon the assumption that the "peculiar institution" of the South was not interfered with, and if the articles of that convention were ratified, then might the property of slaveholders be preserved intact. Further, the proclamation of the President uumistakeably pointed to those of his predecessor wherein slavery was declared at an end in certain insurrectionary States. And the first and main condition upon which we were told that the Statos would be received back into tho Union consisted in the abolition and total prohibition of slavery or in? voluntary servitude, and this condition was com? plied with to the letter. This array of facts in contestibly prove that the vaunted lovers of liberty on the other side of the Potomac meant nothing more nor less than tho freedom of the black popu? lation of the South. If anght else were needed to sustain the-assertion, we might point to the forci? ble and striking action of Congress upon the ad? mission of the lately insurgent States, and then to the powerful efforts which have been made to fasten negro equality upon the Southern people. But this is sufficient, we presume, to establish the truth of the premises already set forth, and we will hasten to view, in striking contrast, the principles of liberty for which the stalwart sons of the South buckled on their armor and went forth to battle. For long years of political agitation and turmoil, the people in this section of the Union were con? vinced that there was a powerful party in the North' gathering strength to pervert the plainest principles of the Constitution and overthrow the Government from the pinnacle of political liberty upon which its framers had erected the proud fabric. Tho attachment of our people for the Union, under the Constitution, induced them to forbear with the encroachments of radicalism so long as possible, and it vras not until the growth ofthat dangerous clement had waxed strong enough to place in the Executive chair a man who advo? cated an "irrepressible conflict" betwixt slavery and the Constitution, that the great heart of the people was fully permeated with a consciousnes8 of wrongs and oppression, and determined upon an effort to remedy the throes and convulsions into which the country was about to be plunged. The masses were devoted to the Union erected by their fathers, and doubly wedded to the principles in? culcated by the framers of the Constitution. The doctrine that each State had a right to govern her I domestic affairs in her own way found a lodgment I in the breast of all, and when it was declared that there was a conflict which could not be repressed, between thoso States recognizing slavery and the Constitution as interpreted by tho then newly elected President, the South with unparalleled unanimity at once proceeded to execute the law of self-preservation. It was not that the institution of slavery was endangered, for not one man in ten was direotly interested in its perpetuity, and hardly a corporal's guard could have been mus? tered had the leaders of secession gone before their people upon the abstract question of slavery. But the statesmen of tho South predicted the tyranny of the present day, and the masses honestly be? lieved the result would be to fasten the iron heel of a despotic majority upon their necks forever. Rather than tamely submit to the encroachments of this mighty usurper, Radicalism, the mode and manner of their action was determined upon, and the issue of secession was fairly presented. We will not pause to demonstrate that many dissented from this mode. We were not of that number, but on the contrary sincerely believed that it was the only alternative. War ensued, and the South was defeated in that arena. But to declare that her people do not at this time more firmly believe in the principles of Constitutional liberty is to belie her position, and debase her fair name for consis? tency. The sword against the Union is forever laid aside. The measure of secession is finally abandoned, and in honest faith the States would return to their former politioal relations. But Heaven forbid that these relations are to be es? tablished by the compromise of principle, and the abnegation of all the cherished tenets for which so many lives were sacrificed. These men fought for the liberty bequeathed them by Revolutionary sires, and not for the dogma of secession as an ab? stract right or for the perpetuity of a simply do? mestic institution. Let surviving comrades fear? lessly maintain their true position, and while main? taining strict fidelity to the Union, abjure the re? creancy and cowardice of self-abnegation. -4? THE COLUMBIA PHOENIX. This is one of our most highly-prized exchanges, and we tako pleasure in directing the attention of all concerned to the advertisement of the proprie? tor, Julian A.

EXCHANGES. Almost every week our exchange list receives an addition of eoiuc excellent journal in other quar? ters of the State, and to-day we give a sincere wel? come to another rising Slur in the constellation of newspaperdom. The town of Marion, S. C, sends us greeting one of the handsomest and ablest pa? pers in the State, and we arc sure that the people of that section will labor earnestly for the per? petuity of the Marion Star, edited and published by W. J. McKerall, Esq. We beg leave to call the brother's attention, however, to his declaration that the Slar is "the cheapest" advertising medium in the State. The terms of this aud other journals in the up-country, with large subscription lists, are below the rates advertised by him, and may justly claim precedence in this respect. Our sprightly and interesting neighbor, the Keovee Courier, comes to us enlarged aqd other? wise improved. The ability of its accomplished editor will now have full scope, and patrons of the Courier will be visited with the excellent fae simile of years gone by. We wish all hands the utmost success. Published at Pickens C. H., by R. A. Thompson & Co. The South Carolinian has made so many changes of late that our readers doubtless find difficulty in keeping pbwe with its movements; but we are happy to state that the proprietor has settled down at Columbia, with his paper considerably enlarged. The Carolinian is part and parcel of Columbia, and as that city is said to be rising from the ashes of her woe and misfortunes, we trust that our cotem porary will likewise continue to adorn and im? prove its columns.

From the frequent wailings of the honorable fraternity to which we belong, ono would presume that there were no bright oases in the broad and blank desert of an Editor's life. But tho informa? tion is at length given that there i^ one spot on this green earth where the happiness and comfort of poor editors are most sedulously cared for. That place is Union Springs, Alabama, and the public may confidently look forward to a general stampede of the "press gang" in that direction, unless other communities can be induced to emu? late the example which is thus' pathetically placed before them: "Union Springs, Alabama, must be a rice place for an editor. Tho editor of the Times, published at that place, acknowledges the receipt of a batch of Canada papers from a lady, some turnips from another, a*plate of "good things" from a third, and a carriage ride tendered by the sume lady, (imagine an editor in a carriage !) a box of pigs from a gentleman, and "cold drinks" from another. Who wouldn't like to publish a paper in such a place." -? 8*57* The wheat crop is being harvested, and we hear many complaints -that the yield is below an average.

On Wednesday evening, (Uh instant, by the Rev. Henry Tyler, Mr. W. K. Harris and Miss Eliza J. Browne, both of this District. DIED, Juno 3, 18(50, near Abbeville, So. Ca., PRESTON BELCHER, in the nineteenth year of his age. He was a manly youth, an affectionate son and brother, and a warm-hearted friend. He gave promise of becoming an honored and useful citi? zen. All who knew him loved him, and many there are to sympathize deeply with tbe bereaved household. He was spared through the closing scenes of the late war to dio among those who wero dear to him. He fell asleep in Jesus. It was given him to behold the Sinner's Friend, and by faith to stake the salvation of his immortal soul upon the Sa? viour's infinite love and mercy. None ever trusted Him in vain. He is not dead but asleep, and them that sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. Weep not for him. Let his memory be cherished as.of one who has only gone before us, and whom we shall see again; and let the Saviour be adored as the Re? deemer of another of our loved ones. S. %\t markets.
